Any agreement would end up meaningless because a budget put on Biden’s desk based upon such agreement would be rejected by Biden to the point of gov’t shutdown(possibly?). After about 2 weeks Biden and Democrats would go on a “Misery tour” blaming Republicans which woukd get top media priority and eventually the GOP would buckle just like they did during the Obama years and cave in to more spending.

*************
These guys are posturing about spending, the $1.7 trillion discretionary spending bill was already passed by both Houses and signed by Biden.

Over $4 trillion in the Federal Budget is mandatory spending that can only be changed by an Act of Congress.

Good luck with getting the votes to go after Social Security, Medicare, Income Security Programs, etc.

They can try in 2023 but the scenario you laid out will most likely prevail.
